I'll give in and be cliché: I'm Entering The Next Chapter Of My Life.

Odie♥.

So, tomorrow morning I leave for college. I have been beyond excited for the last few months, but now that it's creeping up I'm getting a bit nervous. 

I'm really glad my best friend is going as well--it eases my nerves a little. One of the main things I am most upset about is leaving my dog :'( 


I'm very eager to meet my suite mates in person; we've been talking through Facebook, but I have already promised them that I will be much more introverted and shy in person. ;)

My bedroom is bare now. My mother won't come in here anymore because she starts crying. *sigh* It's actually kind of depressing. Heh.

I got on that "rate your professor" site and checked out my professors for this semester. ... Oh. My. God. My Political Life professor and the class both sound horrid :/ I'll try to do my best and get through it though. Wish me luck!

I just wanted to post about my departure. So I really don't have much else to say at the moment.

And don't think I have forgotten about the pictures from Chicago. I have them.. I'll try to upload them on here this weekend or something if I'm not too busy :)

Ciao.

-LG♥.

Road Trip..!

So, my best friend and I are going on a road trip to Chicago in two days (we leave Tuesday morning). I'm so excited. I haven't been to Chicago in six years, so I am beyond eager to see and stay in the city again before we leave to start college.


My goal is to take lots of photos, so that I can post them on here and Instagram :] We'll see how well I do :D

Nothing to say.

Honestly, I don't really have anything to say. I just feel bad for not blogging in like a year--literally--so I'm trying my best to kind of staying in the routine of blogging every so often. .. Not that any of you care anyways, right? There is a whole 4 of you reading this? .. ha, not really, but that's how it feels.




Well I just got out of the shower about an hour ago and I have been getting ready since then. Myself and a few friends are going to the movies tonight to see the movie Katy Perry: Part Of Me 3D . I am SO stoked!! I love Katy Perry and I can't wait to see the movie :')


I know, you feel as if you have been jipped of a post. Sorry, but this is all. For now that is.

Eyes shed tears.

wishful thinking.

Sadness.

t e a r s.

You think I would have died.

Have you heard the news? That I am the worst blogger ever? Oh my gosh, you have heard! It is my most recent title. :|

Anyways. Yes, I have finally returned to this fabulous site. I feel that I am quite different than from who I was one year ago. .. Who am I kidding. Of course I am different from a year ago. Everyone is. We all grow and change--whether it is for the worse or the better.

So much has happened in the last 300+ days. Fights, make-ups, fights, firsts, graduating, heartbreak, fights, drama. It is ridiculous. I hate drama. Simple as that. I have finally decided to cut off the friendship of the person who is creating it. She was one of my close friends.. and it hurt, and it was very hard. But then again, she was the one who hurt me. It is just time to grow up and move on.

I will be attending college mid-August. I'm. So. Stoked!! I have also started these new workout routines, which I love. But I am soo soo soo sore. :/ meh. And I discovered these two girls on YouTube: Tessa (Meekakitty) and Shawna (Nanalew). Hil-aiiir-yus. Check them out if you haven't already.
I did read the Hunger Games wayyy before the movie came out, and I love them both!♥. Fabulous, fabulous.

I have started writing again. I stopped a while ago. I guess I just wasn't inspired. But I'm back to putting letters to create words, which develop into phrases and sentences. Soon leading to paragraphs and plots that  begin to play out the lovely thoughts and pictures in my head.. So yea :) .... I am not majoring in English any longer either. I'm going for Accounting. Woohoo!

Well this is all.. for now. 

Oh! READ THIS ---> Overcoming The Past

Beat The Odds

We say that we’ll beat the odds, that we’ll be best friends forever. It scares me sometimes when I think about it. Sure, there are those random people who are lucky enough to keep their best friend forever, but that is a rarity—especially if I am planning on leaving to Seattle after college.

I am not ready to let you go yet. And I know I still won’t be four years from now. I won’t be ever.  It makes me sad.  Even if we do end up living away from each other, what are the odds of us keeping contact after careers take off and families are started?  That’s how people drift and friendships fade.

It is incomprehensible of how lucky I am to have stumbled across you thirteen years ago. You have been there for me even during the times when we fight, you are my guidance, my competition, the person I confide in when I need support, the person who puts me back together when my heart has been shattered, who keeps me grounded, who has brought me back to the church, who makes me laugh, who has my back, who is officially my new roommate for our freshman year of college in the fall.

You are many many things. You are such a strong, great person with a huge heart. It is amazing how passionate you are about traveling to third-world countries and helping the ones who are in desperate need. It is amazing that you want to volunteer there and help teach them, and that you even plan to adopt a few along with the kids you plan to have yourself. I’m so proud of you and the beautiful person you have become, and I’m proud of the person I know you will grow to be some day. One day you will make a difference. You may not know it right now or even believe—but I believe it.  You are going to touch so many people and help them in infinite ways.

It is hard accepting the thought that I will have to share you with all those people, but it’s what you are made to do. It is what you are great at. And that’s what I want—for you to be great, and to be happy. Because I know we’ll always have US. We will beat the odds. I love you too much for us not to.

Naïve Innocence and Lies

When we were younger everything just seemed to have a sense of innocence to it.  We were all naïve.  In our worlds at the time, Santa and the Easter Bunny existed, magical fairies were real, dandelions were flowers, and we could grow up and be whoever or whatever our heart desired.

But as the years pass and we age, mature, and accumulate knowledge of how the world really is, we come to find it is all just lies made up to comfort and protect our desiring young souls.  Realization eventually settles. 

Santa and the Easter Bunny are just characters for children to enjoy, fairies only come alive with the imagination from little girls who count on the princess to fall in love with the prince every time, that dandelions are actually just weeds and adults just pretend to be excited about the flimsy bouquet of “flowers” you picked.

And kids clearly cannot grow up to be whatever they want.  Some can.  But not all.  Maybe they don’t have the money or support. Maybe they don’t have someone to believe in them—to believe they can truly succeed.

It is all just lies. Deceiving words spoken to trick us for at least a while as we are vulnerable and young before we grow up to do the same.
